The search for the Royal Ring of Grandeur and the Gloves of Worship continues. Today I pop 35x normal act 1 & 2 horadric caches. I did end up with the ring, but seeing as it was the ONLY legendary out of all the caches, I have my doubts about Blizzard's claim that difficulty has no effect on drop rates in caches.
Considering my previous opening of 35x T1 caches yielded 5 legendaries, I'll have to do more testing. Stay tuned for another set of 35x A1/2 T1 caches. If I find multiple legendaries there, then I think we can safely say that Blizzard has either:
1) Avoided the question in a clever way.
2) It's a bug.
3) It's working as intended, and higher difficulties DO have a higher chance to drop legendary items in horadric caches.
I thought I read a thread where they said that caches did scale with difficulty. That's why the fixed the bug where normal caches opened on T6 were dropping tons of imperial gems.
I am up to around 250 act2 bounties... no gloves! Was thrilled to hear they were nerfing/fixxing the gloves, so now I don't feel like they are mandatory for efficient farming. Within 2hrs of reading about the glove fix and stopping act2 split farming I got my Vyr's chest piece! Was it a sign?? I think so

Source for the nerf? The only issue I know of with the gloves is some shrines (don't know which) still last longer than 10 minutes. But a 10 minute buff is still huge and as long as you don't use them as a crutch (such as for perma wrath/archon), they're a lot of fun. FYI I don't have any yet.

A bug currently allows for certain shrines to last longer than what was intended (1hour shrines). The stats and effect the gloves give aren't being changed but the bug that allowed for empowered/speed shrines to last an hour will be getting fixed.
Oh congratulations on the ring too! I've done way too many cache runs but I also managed to get myself the ring. The gloves elude me though so... persevere I must. Hope you get yours soon enough~~ cheers for the vid.
Thanks for the heads up, and the update. Yea I hope I find the gloves, but actually not too worried about it. There are better gloves in my opinion, because shrine gloves are RNG-based, and 'random crutches' would just piss me off.

We'll find out soon enough.

You're right that they don't scale now.
Don't feed the trolls....they will bite your hand off.
